InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach Resort sits on the long west-facing beach that gives the area its name, and that orientation matters: this is the side of the island for sunsets. The resort is large and resort-styled, with a beachfront, garden pathways and a collection of rooms and villas that suit couples, families and groups. It is one of the best known luxury addresses on the island.
Location
The resort is on Long Beach, a few kilometres south of Duong Dong town and the night market, and not far from the airport. That makes it one of the easier luxury hotels to reach, and a short taxi ride takes you to town for dinner. The beach is a long, sweeping stretch that is good for walking at the end of the day, though swimming quality varies with tide and season.
Rooms and facilities
Expect a range of room types, from standard rooms to suites and private pool villas in some categories. The resort has several pools, a spa, restaurants and bars, a kids club and a gym, and many guests treat it as a self-contained base. Details such as bed types, views and breakfast inclusion differ by rate, so read each carefully. Reviews often praise the service and the design, while some note that the resort is large and it can take time to walk between areas.
Who it suits and when to go: couples enjoy the sunsets, the spa and quiet corners, while families like the pools and the activities. The resort is also well placed for mixing relaxation with excursions to Duong Dong, the night market and the southern attractions. The dry season from about November to April offers the best weather and calmest sea on this coast.
In the wetter months from roughly May to October, expect rain and some wind, but also lower rates, so check flexible and refundable options. Ask about airport transfers when you book, because arrival late at night is common.
Getting the most from your stay
Use the resort for the first and last days, when you want easy relaxation, and fill the middle with tours that include hotel pickup, such as island hopping or a day in the north. Ask the concierge about sunset spots along the beach, the spa menu and any dining packages.
The wide beach is good for early walks, and the pools are best before midday. If you are travelling with children, ask for rooms near the kids facilities. Book airport transfers in advance, particularly for late arrivals, and confirm check-in times.
